Correction: In the AWI Quarterly Volume 58, Number 4, the article entitled, "Down on the Goose and Duck Farm" states that Cuddledown.com sells down products manufactured from the live-plucking of birds. AWI does not have any evidence to substantiate this claim. Cuddledown does purchase processed down that comes from countries such as Poland and Hungary where live-plucking of birds is done, however we have been informed by the company that it requires its processors to pledge not to buy any down from live-pluck sources.
